Errors with JGoodies FormLayout in Eclipse M5

[baryiames]

I'm evaling the Swing Designer - very good stuff! The one bit that I haven't been able to work through is an error with the JGoodies formlayout. Dragging it onto a panel gives me a slew of exceptions, I'll post the first. I downloaded the latest eval kit (3.0.1 / Build 2005.03.30).
Thanks for the help -

Hi,

I have a much more reasonable trace out of my Linux system. This is the trace that occurs when I select froms layout and drag it to a JPanel when running on Linux:

I'm evaling the Swing Designer - very good stuff! The one bit that I haven't been able to work through is an error with the JGoodies formlayout. Dragging it onto a panel gives me a slew of exceptions, I'll post the first.

Actually, it would be more helpful if you could send us your entire ".log" file.

The trace from your Linux system is unrelated to the first trace you posted. It indicates a problem adding the JGoodies FormLayout jar file to your project. You might try adding jar file to your project manually.

[baryiames]

A rookie mistake..... Purely a classpath issue.... Adding the forms jar file to the project's classpath clears all the errors.

BTW, our JGoodies FormLayout support has been formally released in v4.0.0.
